rewrote documentation for thread::yield_now()
The old documentation suggested the use of yield_now for repeated
polling instead of discouraging it; it also made the false claim that
channels are implemented using yield_now. (They are not, except for
a corner case).
Migrate `cpu-usage-over-time.py` to Python 3
The only change here is a fix for `sys.platform` on Linux. Python 3.3 changed the API to return `"linux"` instead of `"linux2"`/`"linux3"`, so this PR uses `.startswith("linux")` to make the code work on Python 3 without breaking Python 2.
Clean up rustdoc IDs
I cherry-picked the commit from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/86178. It adds missing rustdoc IDs (for the HTML) and remove unused ones.

Rename some Rust 2021 lints to better names
Based on conversation in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85894.
Rename a bunch of Rust 2021 related lints:
Lints that are officially renamed because they are already in beta or stable:
* `disjoint_capture_migration` => `rust_2021_incompatible_closure_captures`
* `or_patterns_back_compat` => `rust_2021_incompatible_or_patterns`
* `non_fmt_panic` => `non_fmt_panics`
Lints that are renamed but don't require any back -compat work since they aren't yet in stable:
* `future_prelude_collision` => `rust_2021_prelude_collisions`
* `reserved_prefix` => `rust_2021_token_prefixes`
Lints that have been discussed but that I did not rename:
* ~`non_fmt_panic` and `bare_trait_object`: is making this plural worth the headache we might cause users?~
* `array_into_iter`: I'm unsure of a good name and whether bothering users with a name change is worth it.

Add Integer::log variants
_This is another attempt at landing https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/70835, which was approved by the libs team but failed on Android tests through Bors. The text copied here is from the original issue. The only change made so far is the addition of non-`checked_` variants of the log methods._
_Tracking issue: #70887_
---
This implements `{log,log2,log10}` methods for all integer types. The implementation was provided by `@substack` for use in the stdlib.
_Note: I'm not big on math, so this PR is a best effort written with limited knowledge. It's likely I'll be getting things wrong, but happy to learn and correct. Please bare with me._
## Motivation
Calculating the logarithm of a number is a generally useful operation. Currently the stdlib only provides implementations for floats, which means that if we want to calculate the logarithm for an integer we have to cast it to a float and then back to an int.
> would be nice if there was an integer log2 instead of having to either use the f32 version or leading_zeros() which i have to verify the results of every time to be sure
_— [`@substack,` 2020-03-08](https://twitter.com/substack/status/1236445105197727744)_
At higher numbers converting from an integer to a float we also risk overflows. This means that Rust currently only provides log operations for a limited set of integers.
The process of doing log operations by converting between floats and integers is also prone to rounding errors. In the following example we're trying to calculate `base10` for an integer. We might try and calculate the `base2` for the values, and attempt [a base swap](https://www.rapidtables.com/math/algebra/Logarithm.html#log-rules) to arrive at `base10`. However because we're performing intermediate rounding we arrive at the wrong result:
```rust
// log10(900) = ~2.95 = 2
dbg!(900f32.log10() as u64);
// log base change rule: logb(x) = logc(x) / logc(b)
// log2(900) / log2(10) = 9/3 = 3
dbg!((900f32.log2() as u64) / (10f32.log2() as u64));
```
_[playground](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2018&gist=6bd6c68b3539e400f9ca4fdc6fc2eed0)_
This is somewhat nuanced as a lot of the time it'll work well, but in real world code this could lead to some hard to track bugs. By providing correct log implementations directly on integers we can help prevent errors around this.
## Implementation notes
I checked whether LLVM intrinsics existed before implementing this, and none exist yet. ~~Also I couldn't really find a better way to write the `ilog` function. One option would be to make it a private method on the number, but I didn't see any precedent for that. I also didn't know where to best place the tests, so I added them to the bottom of the file. Even though they might seem like quite a lot they take no time to execute.~~

Refactor linker code
This merges `LinkerInfo` into `CrateInfo` as there is no reason to keep them separate. `LinkerInfo::to_linker` is merged into `get_linker` as both have different logic for each linker type and `to_linker` is directly called after `get_linker`. Also contains a couple of small cleanups.
See the individual commits for all changes.
The old documentation suggested the use of yield_now for repeated
polling instead of discouraging it; it also made the false claim that
channels are implementing using yield_now. (They are not, except for
a corner case).
The only change here is a fix for `sys.platform` on Linux. Python 3.3
changed the API to return "linux" instead of "linux2"/"linux3", so this
commit uses `.startswith("python")` to make the code work on Python 3
without breaking Python 2.
Replace per-target ABI denylist with an allowlist
It makes very little sense to maintain denylists of ABIs when, as far as
non-generic ABIs are concerned, targets usually only support a small
subset of the available ABIs.
This has historically been a cause of bugs such as us allowing use of
the platform-specific ABIs on x86 targets – these in turn would cause
LLVM errors or assertions to fire.
In this PR we got rid of the per-target ABI denylists, and instead compute
which ABIs are supported with a simple match based on, mostly, the
`Target::arch` field. Among other things, this makes it impossible to
forget to consider this problem (in either direction) and forces one to
consider what the ABI support looks like when adding an ABI (rarely)
rather than target (often), which should hopefully also reduce the
cognitive load on both contributors as well as reviewers.

## Summary for teams
One significant user-facing change after this PR is that there's now a future compat warning when building…
* `stdcall`, `fastcall`, `thiscall` using code with targets other than 32-bit x86 (i386...i686) or *-windows-*;
* `vectorcall` using code when building for targets other than x86 (either 32 or 64 bit) or *-windows-*.
Previously these ABIs have been accepted much more broadly, even for architectures and targets where this made no sense (e.g. on wasm32) and would fall back to the C ABI. In practice this doesn't seem to be used too widely and the [breakages in crater](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/86231#issuecomment-866300943) that we see are mostly about Windows-specific code that was missing relevant `cfg`s and just happened to successfully `check` on Linux for one reason or another.
The intention is that this warning becomes a hard error after some time.
